2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFrom the office of the president, Hillary will waste no time fucking over the middle class and below
A careful analysis of her violent reckless tenure as a neo-con Secretary of State, her Wall Street loyalties, her meddling in central America where she fought against minimum wage hikes (to 64 cents an hour!) and a well documented history of arrogance and lying gives a clear image of the horrible President she would become.
Hillary is destined to be the most toxic and divisive Democratic candidate in a generation. Her tenure as president will be filled with same corrosive politics and corruption which has propelled her inside Washington circles. That's what Hillary brings to the table. A horrible history of exploiting non-rich families of America for her personal ambitions. Her destructive policies and worldviews are defended with sentimental references to a fantasy world of benevolent capitalism. No one making less than $250,000 a year knows what the fuck she is talking about.
Hillary is an expensive proposition. She's accumulated a huge debt to those who have made her. She'll cash us all in to pay for it. Her love of NAFTA and TPP tells us she'll have no problem selling us out to the lowest wage sweatshop she can find.
In the process, the DNC is going to lose a generation of voters who are learning that neither Clinton nor the DNC gives a damn about the institutional corruption causing a crisis of injustice and disparity in America.
A wholly owned Wall Street lobbyist is running as a Democratic candidate for President. It is surreal.
Idiocracy sounds about right.

Those poor innocent children abandoned. Sickening. Bernie was pissed at her as everyone should be.

I am now totally convinced that Hillary is bad. The wool cannot be pulled over your eyes, wise master, because nobody making less than $250,000 a year knows what the fuck she is talking about -- but YOU DO. Obviously you are very smart. Please tell me how to vote and live my life. What should I wear tomorrow? What should I have for lunch? I'm thinking about buying a new raincoat for spring but can't decide on the color. Navy? Tan? Black? I have so many questions.

(24,565 posts)Is that a coincidence or a conspiracy? Yanno, I get those confused sometimes but then I don't make over $250,000 a year so I'm not sure I'm supposed to know unless I'm told by TPTB whoever that is but I'm sure it is someone important and probably in the establishment although I'm not entirely sure about who is establishment anymore 'cause I used to think it was someone who was a career politician but then I was told folks in one of those really cold yankee states which is probably an oxymoron don't think is true unless it is someone black or female and then they are establishment no matter if they only had a semi- or is that demi-career in public office in which case they are not really qualified to run for president.
